Aims to improve the standard of riding, training of horses and horsemanship in Great Britain by promoting, fostering and regulating dressage. British Dressage manages the representation of Great Britain in international dressage competitions and advises the British Equestrian Federation on all dressage matters
Its purposes are to advise breeders in all questions of breeding, keeping and feeding horses whereby the union of the breeders is, above all, supposed to induce homogeneous breeding measures for the Hannoverian horse. The Verband also supports the sale on behalf of the breeders through auctions taking place at Verden. At these auctions riding-horses, stallions, brood mares and foals are sold. Riders and horses can be trained at the "Hannoversche Reit- und Fahrschule" (Hanoverian Riding and Driving School) which is affiliated to the Verband.
Grönwohldhof
This name is a international hallmark of excellence in the horse world for producing world class horses in both breeding and dressage. This former agricultural estate, northeast of the port of Hamburg, is located in the middle of one of the most fascinating landscapes of the province of Holstein. In 1969, the spacious 494 acre estate was purchased by Otto Schulte Frohlinde of Berlin. Schulte Frohlinde had been a businessman who wanted to fulfil his lifetime dream of being a farmer and horse breeder.
The KWPN (Royal Warmblood Studbook of the Netherlands) is the Dutch breeding organization for jumping and dressage horses, carriage horses and Gelderlander horses. The KWPN has over 28,000 members in the Netherlands. Performance, durability and appealing conformation are the most important factors on which the international success of the Dutch horse is based.
The full official name in Danish is "Dansk Varmblod: Dansk Rideheste Avlsforbund" (which means "Danish Warmblood": The Danish Riding Horse Breeding Society). The logo and branding for Danish Warmblood horses is a stylish "crown over a wave". The brand is used to identify the offsprings from stallions and mares graded within the Danish Warmblood Society's vigiliant set of rules and regulations. Every individual horse carrying this brand, is guaranteed to have an internationally approved pedigree which confirms its blood-lines and identity. The main Studbook is held in Denmark, which is a record of all branded Danish Warmblood horses.

These two equestrian experts apply their profound knowledge particularly in the selection and training of these potential stars - and the results speak for themselves.
